A dream place
The investors were looking for an apartment where they would be able to stay between one trip and another, rather than live on a daily basis. In the end, they decided on a 128-square-meter apartment with an 87-square-meter terrace. The owners presented the architect with a clear vision for the interior. Above all, they wanted a space that was well thought out in terms of functionality. They wanted the living room to be as large as possible and connected to the kitchen. The apartment was to be modern, in the style of warmed minimalism.

Play of textures and lights
Interesting visual effects were created throughout the apartment. Designer lamps in the living room contrast with more technical track lighting. Meanwhile, simple furniture juxtaposed with sculptural forms adds an elegant touch. Designer chairs are set at a modern table with a massive wooden top. Also worth noting is the whitewashed floor in the lounge area.

Open zone
According to the investors' wishes, the living room was combined with the kitchenette. However, it was subtly separated from the dining area by a wall. On the living room side, it was clad with mirrors cut into rectangles. This enhances the impression of spaciousness and optically enlarges the living room even more. Opposite the corner a decorative TV wall was arranged. Right next to it, against a background of black fins, stood the playing equipment. The whole is complemented by a low RTV cabinet.

Subtle colorful accent
The kitchen has an L-shaped plan. Although it is open to the living room, it has been slightly set back and discreetly hidden behind a mirrored wall. The divider on this side has been equipped with an oven, microwave and capacious cabinets. Such a solution allows the owners to stay with guests while preparing meals, while hiding the accompanying clutter. Neutral shades of the built-ins gently blend with walls of the same color. A colorful contrast is introduced here by the upper fronts above the cooktop. Their warm salmon color can also be found on part of the walls. This makes the kitchen cozy.
